Ancient promotion routine

Li Rongniang looked at Ruifu, she was also a little confused.

She knows how to judge people the most, even though Zhang Yanjin didn't even want his life to protect her that day, she understands that it's just this man's sense of responsibility, not because he likes her so much.

So although her heart was fluctuating, she was very sensible and didn't want to embarrass her.

In fact, she is very satisfied. With the status of Zhao Guogong's righteous daughter, she is much better than the civilian daughters who came to the capital before.

She also heard a lot about Zhang Yanjin making horseshoes in Duke Zhao's mansion. The little ladies of Duke Zhao used to look down on Zhang Yanjin, a dude. He has done meritorious service, so he treats her quite casually.Later, Zhang Yanjin was appointed as an official, and even made a horseshoe, which was praised by the emperor. He tossed Zhou Qiye, the man who everyone wanted to marry the most, and saw Zhang Yanjin riding a horse back at dusk by chance. Happily leaning towards her.

Zhang Yanjin's appearance when he came back at dusk, plus his face, was really not to mention how handsome he was. He also had the high spirits that Qi Ye didn't have this week, making it easy for people to be attracted by his cheerfulness.

Li Rongniang's heart was rippling at first because of the kindness of saving her life. At that time, when the female family members of Zhao Guogong's mansion saw him, she knew that she already had an indescribable affection for him in her heart.

However, she still suppressed it, she knew her identity.

Moreover, the better Zhang Yanjin was, the more she felt that he was too far away from her.In fact, she has dark thoughts. Originally, she was involved with him, and she was sure about Zhang Yanjin's weakness. As long as she arranged some things, she would be able to marry him as she wished. But she was not willing before, but now it is Because I have feelings in my heart, I don't want to destroy this clean friendship.

"He said... it was for me?"

Ruifu nodded quickly: "Erlang thinks that the girl is his own, so he can support her." These are all made up by Ruifu. He understands that Miss Li was not a powerful person before, so there is no dowry. Erlang is subsidizing it What about Miss Li?

Li Rongniang couldn't help smiling, she would not refuse, the things he sent came just right, and could help keep her away from King Zhao's sight.And... Even if she can't get married in the future, it's just a thought, isn't it?

She took it, and then said: "Can you wait for a while, I want to bring something to Mr. Zhang."

Ruifu rubbed his hands together and said, "That would be the best." He didn't know how Erlang would reward Miss Li when he saw what belonged to her.

Li Rongniang moved very quickly, she quickly tossed out a bundle, and then handed it over.

Zhang Yanjin's speed was very fast, they changed horses every time they arrived at a station, and if it was night, they would rest at the station.

After several days of rushing, Zhang Yanjin and the others arrived at the post station by the river.Seeing that the sky was getting dark and it was almost dusk, Zhang Yanjin asked everyone to get off their horses and rest early today because they were all tired after traveling for the past few days.

The postmen guarding the station saw Zhang Yanjin, the leader, with a calm complexion, smart clothes, and every detail of wealth and nobility, they all lifted the thick cotton felt curtains to greet them, and helped Zhang Yanjin and the others lead the horses into the manger.

Zhang Yanjin made a signal, and Zhang Wuyi, who was specially arranged by Ning Guogong to be one of Zhang Yanjin's guards, took out an ingot of broken silver and put it in the hand of the head postman.

These days, people mostly use copper coins to do things, and Zhang Yanjin got silver coins as soon as he made a move, which made the postman jealous, and hurriedly greeted him: "Honored guest, sit inside, sit inside."

Zhang Yanjin was also polite, and went straight in.

Different from the humble appearance of this post station, the repaired interior of the post station is simple and atmospheric, very warm.Perhaps most of the people coming and going were motorcades and horses. There was a generous dining table on the floor, which was covered with thick cotton felt, and there were scattered tables beside it for people to sit on.

Zhang Yanjin found a place to sit down, leaned on the table, and sighed comfortably.The past few days I have been riding horses on the road, my back is sore. A few days ago, I went to the post station after dark for the trip. Observe the structure of the Great Wei Station.

The large post station has three floors, the first floor is for merchants to eat, the second and third floors are places for merchants to live.

The Binhe post he stayed this time was not too big, it was only two stories high and had six postmen.

During the Wei Dynasty, the post stations had been well developed. He roughly remembered the most prosperous period. After the emperor of the Wei Dynasty opened up the Hexi Corridor and expanded the territory, there were more than 300 land post stations, and the water post stations were Up to more than 300.

"My lord, what do you want to eat?" The postmen helped Zhang Yanjin and their carriages unload their luggage and carried them upstairs, and then came to greet Zhang Yanjin and the others.

Zhang Yanjin took a sip of hot tea, sat up slightly, and said simply and rudely: "On each table, chicken, duck, fish, good wine and good food are served."

There are a lot of them, so they sit at different tables.Zhang Yanjin ate and drank with the craftsmen these days, which made these craftsmen more loyal to him.

From the beginning, everyone was a little reluctant to let go, and now they are gradually getting used to it.When these craftsmen were in the military camp, they were in the iron-making workshop together. After a month and a half of running-in, they had begun to have a certain tacit understanding.

These days, they are on the road and eat together, and their tacit understanding and relationship are increasing day by day.

Looking at these craftsmen, Zhang Yanjin was full of confidence in his trip to Datong.For this era, coal is the primary energy source.After collecting energy, can he do other things?

He remembered that the first industrial revolution in Britain was the invention of the steam engine, which produced steam by burning coal.It is the power of steam that propels the machine to turn up and down, driving the economic development of the old capital powers like Britain, and quickly engulfing wealth.

It is precisely because of this that they invented the cannon, updated their arms and equipment, traveled across the ocean to the East, and blasted the gate of the Qing Dynasty.

He looked at the curling steam overflowing from the tea, what would it be like if he invented the steam engine first and drove the great Wei to set off a huge industrial revolution?Will it set off a vast and incomparable butterfly effect by the way?

Just when Zhang Yanjin and the others were having a good time eating and drinking, a young man in brocade clothes rode a fast horse, followed by three servants, and a group of people came to the Binhe Inn.

After the man handed over the horse to the postman, he opened the thick cotton blanket and came in, and saw Zhang Yanjin in the first seat.

After seeing Zhang Yanjin's appearance clearly, the man's face changed instantly.He gave up his plan to eat in the lobby, walked up the stairs quickly, asked the servant beside him to let the postman bring the meal to his room, and then entered the room and never came out again.

The servants also saw Zhang Yanjin sitting in the lobby, and knew why their master was hiding in the room and could not come out, so they lowered their heads and did things in silence.

The man entered the room, and only then did he unload the roll that he had been carrying on his back.He opened the scroll, and pulled out the dark yellow scroll with dark patterns printed in the middle, which was obviously the scroll that was only used when the Great Wei official took office.

The tiredness of traveling all day made the man even more upset. He sat on the bench, leaned on the bench and closed his eyes to rest.

If you open the dark yellow scroll that he put on the small table, you can see the words that Wang Jianting works in Datong Mingfu, Xizhou, the sixth rank.

During the Great Wei Dynasty, the territory was vast, extending from Andong in the east, Anxi in the west, Rinan in the south, and Shanyufu in the north.

Mingfu means the county magistrate, Chang'an is the capital county, Mingfu is the fifth rank, and the rest of the Mingfu is the seventh and sixth rank.Datong is a big county in Xizhou, so the Ming government where Wang Jianting works is the sixth rank.

Unfortunately, he just followed Zhou Qihui some time ago and had a fight with Zhang Yanjin on Chang'an Avenue. What's even more unfortunate is that his father thought it was okay for him to be a dude all the time, so he got him a The place where Zhang Yanjin is going to work is the same place, which is the Datong County that the emperor bestowed on Zhang Yanjin.

Wang Jianting kicked on the small table, his father didn't know what to think, let him go out to play for his qualifications, so why did he let him go at this time?Especially in Xizhou, where it was cold and the birds didn't shit, not to mention a large area of ​​Datong in Xizhou was given to Zhang Yanjin by the emperor. Let him be there, wouldn't it be obvious that Zhang Yanjin would overwhelm him?

Why did Zhang Yanjin, a dude like Xizhou Datong, just go around for a while, but just now the lobby was full of Zhang Yanjin's people, judging from this posture, Zhang Yanjin didn't plan to just go around there and then come back!

Wang Jianting was very irritable, but he couldn't disobey his father's decision.

It was night, when Zhang Yanjin was sitting by the bed soaking her feet, Zhang Wuer had nothing to say, and asked curiously: "Second Lord, what are we going to Xizhou Datong for this time?"

"The secret must not be leaked." Zhang Yanjin closed his eyes half-closed, enjoying the feeling of sweating slightly when his feet were scalded.

"Second Lord must have Second Master's plan to do this, don't ask more." Zhang Wuyi came over and stopped Zhang Wuer's thought of asking, he said to Zhang Yanjin: "Second Master, do you still remember that we ate in the lobby When a group of people came in, they went into the room and didn't come out?"

Zhang Yanjin nodded, he was slightly impressed.The man was fair-skinned, with a pair of triangular eyelids, a brocade suit, and a slightly thin figure, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Second Lord, I found out just now that that person is Wang Jianting, the son of Wang Lige, a provincial admonisher, and he went to Xizhou Datong to work in the Ming government." Zhang Wu looked a little strange.

Zhang Yanjin also came to his senses, he remembered that when he was pulling Zhou Qihui and beating him violently, Wang Jianting who was beside him seemed to have been punched several times by him.Why, the emperor just rewarded him with those lands in Datong in Xizhou, and he can be regarded as the number one landlord in Datong County, so this guy went to Datong to be the county magistrate?Just a coincidence?

Zhang Yanjin tapped the bed lightly with his fingers, and after a short while he said: "No problem, the emperor rewarded me with that place, even if I have the final say, the county magistrate can't take care of my private property, you go to rest earlier Right." On the land deed is his name, Zhang Yanjin, and he does his own thing, so what can others say?

Zhang Yanjin wiped his feet with a cotton towel, and Zhang Wu took the footwashing water away, and blew out the lamp for Zhang Yanjin.
